Maybe we think every answer should be contained to 140 characters. Perhaps we have been watching too many courtroom dramas on TV. 5: Permission to treat the witness as hostile. Of course, I have security allow them up, but every time I wonder why I have to. Why someone would walk out the door without their ID is beyond me, but I can’t tell you how many people have to call up to our office from security in hopes I will vouch for them. Security is high, and at minimum you’ll need your ID for admittance.
If you haven’t tried to get into any city office building in the last 15 years, good luck.

Anything less, and they’ll be wondering where you are.Īnd, no matter what, make sure you have their phone number with you. Anything more, and your interviewer will be antsy at the thought of you sitting in the lobby for so long.
